    About WISeKey

    From mainstream threats, such as viruses and spyware,
to phishing and now pharming, secure communications and the
protection of identity are on everyone's mind. In order to
address these concerns, WISeKey set out to provide a
reliable way of establishing a universal, secure identify
system by developing a high security, low cost and
easy-to-use solution called CertifyID. This solution
enables and is built on advanced applications within the
Microsoft Windows Server. These applications enable
relatively low tech environments and entities to enjoy the
same rock-solid security that would otherwise be available
only through complex, expensive and sophisticated Public
Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology.
